GET REEL: Can you answer our double trouble Movie Trivia question?

The Golden Globe Awards will be presented tonight, so what better time to kvetch about the nominations and make a few predictions.

My biggest beef is with the nomination of Viola Davis as best supporting actress for “Fences.” Don’t get me wrong. Davis, one of the finest actresses in the biz, deserves a nomination. It just shouldn’t be for a supporting role. She should be for a starring role.

For starters, her screen time far surpasses the amount for a typical supporting performance. More significantly, when Davis was nominated for a Tony in 2010 for “Fences,” it was for best actress. Her lines of dialogue from stage to screen haven’t diminished so radically that the transition merits a downgrade to supporting role status. Mary Alice, who originated the role on Broadway in 1987, also competed for a best actress Tony. To be fair, when the role was revived, Davis was initially considered a supporting actress. The play’s producers petitioned for a change and Davis received the upgrade. Both Alice and Davis won Tonys.

When the Oscar nominations are revealed Jan. 24, expect Davis to receive the same supporting role nomination. It’s what her camp is campaigning for, though the Oscar folks can do whatever they like. Perhaps the rationale behind the campaign is that black actresses fare better in supporting roles at the Academy Awards where they’ve received 19 nominations and triumphed six times. Hattie McDaniel, Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Hudson, Mo’Nique, Octavia Spencer and Lupita Nyong’o took home statuettes. Only one black actress has won Oscar's top prize – Halle Berry – and there have been only 10 nominations dating back nearly 90 years.

That said, if ever there were a year for a black actress to win Oscar's top prize, it would be this year following last year’s debacle when no black actor or actress received a nomination, spawning the #OscarsSoWhite backlash on social media. Expect the Academy Awards to make amends this year. The only question is how many amends will they make.

Let’s simply say that Davis is a lock for the Golden Globe and for the Oscar, no matter the category in which she competes. Superlatives don't do her performance justice, but I'll add one anyway - spectacular.

It should be noted that Davis’ case is not the only instance when supporting and starring roles have become blurred. Case in point, this year, Hugh Grant received a Golden Globe nomination for best actor for “Florence Foster Jenkins” while the Screen Actors Guild nominated him for best supporting actor for the same performance. Time to scratch your head.

Perhaps the most bizarre case of role reversals took place in 2008 when Kate Winslet campaigned for supporting actress for “The Reader” and won the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards in that category, yet received the Oscar for best actress. You can scratch your head again.

Besides Davis, another Golden Globe guarantee is “La la Land” for best picture, musical or comedy. The best dramatic prize will go to either the favorite, “Manchester by the Sea” or the underdog, “Moonlight.” The latter tells the story of what it is like to grow up black and gay in Miami. This brilliant film deserves any award it receives, even without considering the makeup call for last year. Mahershala Ali should garner the best supporting actor prize.

I still think “Manchester” will win for best dramatic picture. Come Oscar time – the awards will be bestowed Feb. 26 - I’ll be flipping a coin – “Manchester” or “La La Land.” “Moonlight” could pull off an upset here, too.

The best actor award in the drama category should go to Casey Affleck for “Manchester.” If he loses, the defeat may be attributed to the negative publicity stemming from two sexual harassment suits filed against him in civil court in 2010. He settled both suits. The Golden Globe beneficiary could be Denzel Washington for “Fences.”

The best actress award in the drama category should go to Natalie Portman for “Jackie.” Other possibilities include Amy Adams for “Arrival,” Isabelle Huppert for “Elle” and Ruth Negga for “Loving.” The latter film is based on the true story of a white man and black woman who successfully challenged Virginia’s law prohibiting interracial marriage.

The best director award should go to Damien Chazelle for his imaginative take on the Hollywood musical in “La La Land.” For some awkward drama, it would be interesting if Mel Gibson, long a Hollywood pariah for a lengthy list of malfeasance, won for “Hacksaw Ridge.” What would he say in his acceptance speech? Kenneth Lonergan, for “Manchester,” and Barry Jenkins, for “Moonlight,” provide competition. If the Golden Globe gang wants to spread the wealth around, they could honor Tom Ford for “Nocturnal Animals.”

The best actor award in a musical or comedy will likely go to Ryan Gosling for “La La land,” though it should go to Ryan Reynolds for “Deadpool,” by far the funniest film of the year, and he's priceless in it. Anyone who thinks Colin Farrell is funnier in “The Lobster” has seaweed for brains. That said, some pundits are picking Farrell.

The best actress award in a musical or comedy should go to Emma Stone for “La La Land.” Annette Bening provides the only competition for “20th Century Women.”

Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t pay a quick tribute to Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher, the mother-and-daughter actresses who died last month. Anyone who hasn’t seen “Singin’ in the Rain,” the film that catapulted Reynolds to stardom, should see it now. And those who have seen it should see it again just to be reminded how amazing the 19-year-old Reynolds is in the role.

Fisher, of course, is best known for playing Princess Leia in the “Star Wars” films. My favorite movie of hers, however, is “Shampoo,” her debut film that she made when she was, coincidentally enough, also 19. It’s a small role but she gets to deliver a charming line to Warren Beatty’s character that can’t be repeated in a family newspaper. She’s also great in “The Blues Brothers.”

Both actresses will be missed.
